here is governor bob mcdonald. >> what about the idea of allowing people, adults, teachers to be armed? >> i know there has been a knee-jerk reaction against that. i think there should be a discussion about that. if people were armed not just the police officer but others who are trained, certainly there would be an opportunity to stop aggressors from coming into the school -- >> i have reasonable thought arm six year olds. >> well, you saw that one writer who said we should teach kids to run at gunmen. >> stephanie: right. >> what this comes down to is pure idiotsy. i think it's hysterical to hear people who are supposed to be law and order to think we have to go back to the days of tom stone. >> stephanie: yeah. >> everybody else seems to be a part of this but i grew up in los angeles, and it's a bit different from virginia but there was a police department that had officers at all of the different [ inaudible ] unified schools. if this is something that parents, families and communities are worried about, they need to talk about having security at their schools, and i hate to break

according to bob woodward's book, "the price of politics," the white house was willing to look at changing the c.i.p. as part of the so-called grand bargain last year. the simpson-bowles commission included it as one of their solutions. the president himself reportedly had a version of chained c.i.p. in his latest offer on the fiscal cliff. madam president, that's progress. it shows that some democrats are open to serious ideas and real solutions. because we need to do something to relieve the burden of washington's crushing debt, this is something to consider. more revenue is going to have to be part of the solution and republicans have said so. substantial cuts in spending must be part of the answer as well washington does noav problem, ia spending problem. that problem is centered on entitlement programs that are growing far too quickly. switching to the chained c.p.i. is a reasonable first step that we could take now to start to rein in washington's out-of-control spending so that we can save and protect social security and medicare for generations to come. thank you, madam president.
